Ingredients

3 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons fish sauce (see Ingredient note)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 pound chicken tenders
Spicy Peanut Sauce (recipe follows)

Directions

To marinate chicken: Whisk lime juice, oil, soy sauce, fish sauce and crushed red pepper in a shallow baking dish until combined; add chicken and turn to coat. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Preheat grill to high.

To grill chicken and serve: Thread each chicken tender onto a wooden skewer (see Tip). Grill the chicken skewers until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, about 3 minutes per side. Serve warm or chilled with Spicy Peanut Sauce for dipping.

To prevent wooden skewers from burning on the grill, wrap the exposed portion in foil before grilling. (Contrary to popular wisdom, soaking them in water doesn't prevent them from burning.)Ingredient note: Fish sauce is a pungent Southeast Asian sauce made from salted, fermented fish. You can find it in the Asian section of large supermarkets and in Asian specialty markets.

Spicy Peanut Sauce:

2 tablespoons smooth natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons "lite" coconut milk
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste

Whisk together peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar and crushed red pepper in a small bowl until smooth.

This recipe has become a weekly meal. I have read some of the mixed reviews and all I can say is that you have to have the... peanut sauce along with the chicken. I have a gluten intolerance so, I substituted the soy sauce with a wheat free version and put a lot more brown sugar in the peanut sauce (my wheat free soy sauce isn't low sodium). I serve this on a bed of Jasmine rice and it's perfect!Read more

Thai Chicken Satay with Spicy Peanut Sauce
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Quick and easy to make even in the middle of the week. I had all of the ingredients except fresh shallots and ginger on hand... but would add more citrus to the marinade as well as some red pepper flakes. This is a gentle mix of wonderful flavors but is even more pronounced if you can marinade the chicken over a longer period. The dipping sauce was wonderful. I liked the crushed peanuts and cilantro on top with a nice Jasmine rice and sliced chilled cumcumber slices. Read more

Good marinade
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Marinade was the perfect blend of citrus & spicy. Added extra red pepper & some cayenne as we tend to like things really... hot. Very easy and delicious. Read more

Not too spicy...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I was surprised at the lack of spiciness in this dish- I didn't have the fish ingredient or the coconut oil and it still... turned out great. I used regular milk instead of the coconut milk. I served pad thai with it for a nice asian dish. We'll definitely make this again.Read more
